Love your alien dude chewing on his restraints, stopping just when the FBI looks back.
Jordi:
nice hands animation
kemal kemal:
Great work on the first guy wiping his hands together.
Ashwani:
fantastic greate mood & acting
Nicholas Palmer Kelly:
SL guy is awesome...i really like his internal to external at the beginning...the lip sync could be a little stronger.....especially on the b's
Joan Delmont:
excellent !!
Virgil Tanasa:
hey, great work :)
maybe the final pose of the standing up cop is a bit too twisted, but that doesnt really bother me.
cool, good luck, one of my favorites so far !
AndyT:
Hey Buddy really like your take on the audio clip works really well. Great Performance
Looking great Good Luck...
What are you using to render, really like the look?
Santiago Montenegro:
good animation and idea. in the begining of the shot when the cop release the hand of the alien.. the arm intersects with the floor.
Adam:
awesome....really though
Andrew:
really nice work
Noah Arntson:
Wow you nailed it with the weight on that alien hand falling to the ground. Great concept with the UFO theme! It certainly didn't work with a sequel I just saw but fit your scene very well!
Nate Lane:
Haha this is awesome man. I love the whole idea of it. Wooooo! HIgh five. Congrats :)
Andy Menter:
wonderful!
you got a lot of really nice things happening in this one.
if i may be picky... the alien in the first cut is not fidgitting (i have no idea how to spell that) around nearly enough. I know you don't want to take away from the focus of the animation, but he's just too slow, and dull in that shot. The second characters body is way too stiff, and i would think he'd be a little slouched over to his right or something, putting more weight on one leg.
The hips on the main character are just dead, and not doing anything, no weight change there. And the last cut is just far too short to notice anything happening and I'd say do away with it, but you need to get their reaction in there...so maybe just at a few seconds so we can see something happen before it freezes.
but for the most part, the movement is good, the timing is nice, love the facial expressions, scene is great, awesome story for an 11 second sound clip. Love it!
Eric Huelin:
Well acted, good choice and timing of shots. Gag is well delivered.
Avner Engel:
AWESOME!
You have done really well in terms of the background story. It makes the animation so much easier to read.
It's good that you showed the alien baby is trying to get out of the ropes, it shows us he is alive. The standing character feels a bit too stiff, during the first part of the animation, until you have the cut but I assume you didn't want him to distract our eye. Maybe something very subtle in addition to what you have going now would help. Slight shift weight or something.
The rest is a treat for tohe eye!
I really enjoyed watching this, great stuff!
Janarthanan:
haha..gud work..cool idea...
luv the alieans attitude..kindah naughty..gud
the smoking cops eye look at doesnt seem to go well wit alien...

Caryn:
I love the little details.
Gill Frank:
realy good idea.
Ken Rice:
Nice
Sergey B.:
VERY NICE
chakravarma:
looking great
Jarryd Williams:
cool idea, this is the first piece I've seen that cuts to a close up of the kids face, it works really well.
And you've done a lot of nice details as well, the alien biting at the ropes, the cigarette.
+ you nailed the hand rub at the start, amazing and well thought out
Mayank:
Nice..u did a great job..all the best
eejun:
I like it very much. the concept and animation. awesome.
Marcos Borba Moreira:
loved the acting choice
Shannon:
Lovely hand gesture on the first speaker at the head of the shot, and the extra bit with the alien chewing on his ropes is nice. However, I feel like I've seen this exact set-up already, including the quick cut to "kid looking innocent'.
Jason Smith:
Great use of the principles!! Great scene, I love when he drops the alien's arm the wipes his hand! You nailed it!
Mike Courtney:
great work
Amanda Gil:
coooool!! i love the characters, the background, the camera shots, the acting and everything! Really good job!
Funny and original!
Mathias AUBRY:
really cool idea, really well rendered!
Ryan Brooks:
It's really good, but you have him speaking to the left of him "with his hand up to the right of his face'. If he were talking to the guy, he would gesture the other way. Otherwise great.
Brad Regier:
This is my favorite concept so far.
zach rahman:
awesome very good use of archs and poses, also nice follow through
Guillaume Roux:
Wow this is great! Nice concept , really subtle animation, love the way he rubs his hands...
my preferred for this month
Michael Twentyman:
excellent quick reference to the alien to justify the pause. Clever take on the concept.
Jonathan Asselin:
Very cool! I love the assymetric lypsinc at some points, the acting of the hands of agent No.1 is the best! Very natural looking, we can get the "gooey" feeling perfectly! Wonderful!
Ben Hatton:
Great interpretation. I like the animation of line 2 a lot, and the way that guy1 wipes his fingers after touching the b-o-d-y-s.
Simon Pitts Jr.:
Very nice job!
Ben Harper:
Really nice work.
James Fearn-Wannan:
Splendid !
Michael Richard:

David Shum:
hahaha, good idea!
Juan Carlos Valdez:
great job
Adam Green:
Very nice. And bringing the smoking theme back to 10second......er, I mean 11SecondClub.
Christopher Salamat:
very good. love the subtle animation of the alien. could really feel his kid-like innocence
Chelsea Hiatt Farley:
I love the alien. Those little sad eyes kill me. And I love him pulling on the rope with his teeth. Great job!
SamoRa G:
nice wun!! =D
Lindsay Thompson:
I really enjoyed this one, particularly the first shot.. Lipsync could have been a little tighter, but really great, I think this one will win.
ArunVijayan:

gerardo:

RaJeSh_ToR:
enjoyed alot.........smooth flow .....good ani......!??!
Harry G:
GREAT CONCEPT. You have very wonderfully used the the dialogue to animate. Lied the secondary animation the kid does in the back ground... CHEERS !!
Andy Simpson:
nice animation... greatGREAT idea... very original
Michael Cawood:
I'm not sure why he's masking his face to screen left at 247. It's correct for the kid but wrong for the other guy. I guess it's really just a layout problem. Perhaps the other guy should have been screen left in the opening shot. Otherwise though... great stuff.
